Horizontal Menu View

A horizontal menu view displays a list of items side by side in a single row, similar to a lightbar. Items are selected with the cursor keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home and End, or by a hotKey.

Note

A horizontal menu view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters HM, followed by the view number if used. For example: %HM1

Note

See Views for the common view properties, the common menu view properties, and the shared Hot Keys and Items reference — all of which apply here.

Properties

A horizontal menu lays its items out along one row, so width sets the total width available to the whole list (default 15) and itemSpacing separates items horizontally rather than vertically.
